Abstract
A streams manager monitors performance of a streaming application, and when the performance needs to be improved, the streams manager requests a cloud manager provision one or more VMs on a server that has a specified hardware type, and optionally has specified available hardware capacity. In response, the cloud manager determines which available servers have the specified hardware type, and when available hardware capacity is specified, further determines which of the available servers with the specified hardware type have the specified available capacity. When there are multiple servers that satisfy the request from the streams manager, the cloud manager determines from historical performance logs for the servers which is preferred. The cloud manager then provisions the requested VM(s) on the specified hardware type and returns the requested VM(s) to the streams manager. The streams manager then deploys a portion of the streaming application to the VM(s).
